Top 7 Most Dirty Effect Pedal Names

The new effect pedal prototype is ready ! Now you have to name it… That’s a very important step ! The name can reflect the brand equity or it can give indications about the use of the pedal. It also aims to distinguish your effect from the competitors. Yet, many brands don’t seem to put a real effort into creating the name of their future effect pedal… We’ve all seen pedals with this sort of shitty names such as Brand-Name Distorsion or Buy-Me-X732-BK-Power. Awful !

In the other hand, some others seem to put a lot of effort into naming their pedals. Sometimes the result is surprising… If you like dirty puns, below-the-belt humor and you’re a porn aficonado… This Top 7 is what you need !!

Metasonix is famous for pulling out the dirtiest products names in the guitar industry. They often are focused below the belt such as the Butt Probe or the Fucking Fucker. The Assblaster is now discontinued (half of Metasonix catalog seems to be discontinued anyway) but I don’t doubt that it was probably designed to blow your ass off !!

Way Huge is famous for the humoristic pedal names that are often quite subtil too ! Well, in this case there is no subtlety whatsoever… I guess !

Maybe that’s why it isn’t featured in the Way Huge catalog anymore… Did Dunlop Manufacturing chickened out because of this obvious reference to the porn culture ?

Well, I admit that maybe I am fantasizing a little with this one because the Camel Toe is a combination of two other Way Huge pedals : Green Rhino and Red Llama. That being said, if that was just a reference to both pedals they would have name it Brown Camel (or something like that) instead of Camel Toe, right?

And this list had to end that way !! If she doesn’t scream with all that testosterone-ish names and that way huge camel toe of hers, well I guess that means that something went wrong !

To my knowledge, there is no male equivalent to this Screaming Whore but I guess we could figure out something around Priapus ! There is a lot of inspiration when it comes to think below the belt.

Well, this makes me wonder if I shouldn’t start a brands and products naming service ! I am pretty sure that the world needs my brilliant mind…

If you think that I forgot an effect pedal in that list of dirty named pedals, and you think it unfair… Well, just let me know in the comments section below ! I know I can’t have them all and maybe we could make a second list…
